MUSIC VIDEO [Paulina Rubio – Boys Will Be Boys]

Paulina Rubio is one of the most successful Mexican female singers from all-time.

Let me tell you, I love her and hate her at the same time. But this song is perfect to shake your booty!

Boys Will Be Boys is her first single in English since a really long time. And guess what: it was produced by Red One!

The video is kinda hilarious and extremely sexy.

I know that the Femme Fatale Tour from last year was epic, but so was the Circus Tour back in 2009.

The Circus Starring: Britney Spears showed up 97 times, having 61 shows in North America, 22 in Europe and 14 in Australia. The tour was a commercial success, with a total gross of $131.8 million. It also broke attendance records in many cities and all the North American shows were sold out. The Circus Tour became the fifth highest grossing tour of 2009, and the sixth highest grossing tour ever by a female artist.

It’s a shame that it didn’t come out in DVD!

MUSIC VIDEO [Emeli Sandé – My Kind Of Love]

Emeli Sandé has one of the best voices in the business right now. She has already released her debut album Our Version Of Events in the UK, and it went straight to number one! And after its second week out, it was certified Platinum.

Her name is Adele Emeli Sandé, but due to Adele’s success she decided that she had to use her middle name. She’s 24 years old and she studied Medicine at the University of Glasgow, but stopped in her fourth year.

My Kind Of Love is the latest single from the album. The video makes the song even more beautiful, it’s so emotional.

MUSIC VIDEO [The All-American Rejects – Kids In The Street]

These guys have an awesome new track and an album out there with the same name: Kids In The Street.

After the first single Beekeeper’s Daughter, which I found kind of awkward, The All-American Rejects have finally satisfied their fans with their second single and in the video you can see the band playing musical instruments with neon light on them!

I loved it.

No war, no peace, no hope, no mean, just us… 

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN [Official Single Cover]

Rihanna just announced the release of her new single Where Have You Been from her successful album Talk That Talk.

In the cover art, you could barely recognize her because the now black haired singer only shows one eye, and the rest of her face is covered with some sort of scarf. Also she already filmed the video for this song, which was produced by DJ Calvin Harris, who also produced the smashing first single We Found Love.

Hope to see the video soon.

MUSIC VIDEO [Paloma Faith – Picking Up The Pieces]

Well, I just discovered this extraordinary singer from the UK. Her name is Paloma Faith, and she sings with passion.

Paloma will release her second album Fall To Grace on May 28th, and the first single has already conquered several hearts, including mine.

The music video fits really well with the song, and it has a little bit of gothic elements here and there. It was directed by Emil Nava.

Just sublime.

M. POKORA [Cosmopolitan Shoot]

Matt Pokora did a photo shoot for the French Cosmopolitan magazine where he wears haut couture.

The pictures are nice, but they weren’t on HQ, just scans from the magazine.

MUSIC VIDEO [Carly Rae Jepsen – Call Me Maybe]

I couldn’t avoid posting this video. The song is PURE POP! And from the good pop, of course! It makes me remember when pop music was on top in the late 90’s, early 00’s. People love the song, and so do I.

Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen made an instant smash with this song that premiered a few months ago. At that time, a viral video was uploaded to YouTube featuring several young Hollywood stars like Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, Ashley Tisdale and the boys from Big Time Rush. It became a hit!

By the way, her voice sounds like if she was 16 years old, but in fact she’s 26!!!

QUOTE OF THE MONTH

“Let's go flying together 

Let's go fly like a bird, ye-ye-yeah 

Let's go skate in the sky 

To hear my voice an your cry… 

I just want to be free in this world 

I hope that everybody understands 

I just want to be free and fly away” 

 – Be Free, by Belinda

MUSIC VIDEO [Marina And The Diamonds – Primadonna (Acoustic Version)]

Marina Diamandis was born in Wales and she will release on April 30th her second studio album Electra Heart in the UK and France.

The official first single from the album is entitled Primadonna, and it’s an astonishing song produced by Dr. Luke and Cirkut. I’m totally in love with her voice and her music! 

The official video clip was released last month and right after that, an acoustic version video was uploaded. I’ve preferred to post this alternate version, because she looks flawless wearing a pink dress on it. 

 Enjoy! 

VINTAGE PICS

This edition of Vintage Pics is dedicated to my favorite TV character: Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl, which is based on the novels of the same name.

Described as "a girl of extremes" by creator Cecily von Ziegesar, she is a comical overachiever who possesses both snobbish and sensitive sides. Due to her position as queen bee of Manhattan's social scene, Blair's actions and relations are under constant scrutiny from the mysterious blogger Gossip Girl.

Leighton Meester, who portrays the character in the television series, has described Blair as being insecure about her social status. At times, this anxiety creates flaws and complexities which contribute to character development. In Meester's view, the true Blair is ultimately a "good girl" at heart.

To prepare for the part of Blair, actress Leighton Meester, a natural blonde, dyed her hair brown before auditioning, and also studied the first novel. She has described the character as multi-faceted, labeling her "a little bit of everything which is pretty amazing".

I admire Blair for sure.

MUSIC VIDEO [Karmin – Brokenhearted]

Karmin is a duo consisting of the gorgeous Amy Heidemann and the handsome Nick Noonan, who are engaged to each other! The name of the band derives from the Latin word carmen, which means "song", with a slightly altered spelling to hint at “karma".

Brokenhearted is the second single already to their debut album called Hello which will be released in the next months. And I think that this song is even better than their first single Crash Your Party.

The video makes me smile and I wish I could meet them, because they seem really nice people.

RANDOM INTERNET ALBUM COVER ART [Part 2]

It was last year when I found this kind of game and shared with you the results I got. Today I wanted to do it again ‘cause it’s so much fun!

The objective is to create your own album cover for your fiction band. These are the instructions:

1. Go to Wikipedia and click ‘Random article’ in the left column. The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2. Go to quotationspage.com and click ‘Random Quotes’ in the left column. The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your album.

3. Go to Flickr and click ‘Interesting photos from the last 7 days’ on the right side. Third picture, no matter what it is, is your album cover.

4. Use Photoshop or similar to put it all together.

5. Post your final album cover and tell your friends to join!

Check my results out:

MUSIC VIDEO [Madonna – Girl Gone Wild]

Well, Madonna is Madonna, and she does a video like this if she wants.

 I was afraid she was gonna give us a lame video, but she didn’t. It’s really edgy and features some of the elements that Lady GaGa included on her Alejandro music video, like the clothes of the male dancers that consist of heels and tights. However, I think Madge’s work is sublime compared to the boring and extremely long clip of the Mother Monster.

A sinful video full of glamour, vanity, homoeroticism, sexiness and cigarettes. What else can you ask for?
